Sachi Amma has repeated Adam Ondra's Jungle boogie, a pure power endurance 9a+ route just left of Biographie at Céüse, France.

According to the man himself, it was nothing less than a miracle:

Finally... I still can not believe it happened. It is raining heavily right now. Tomorrow I go to Germany.
I got a last chance. It was a miracle!

Sachi is now one step closer to achieveing his ambitious goal of climbing ten 9a+'s or harder in 2015. Here's Adam making the first ascent in 2012.

Cool stuff. Ten 5.15s in 2015, ambitious stuff. Still got quite a way to go I think. And I can't imagine that grade being particularly easy in the Frankenjura. So was this the second ascent? First done in 2012 I presume: the date the video was posted. The video of Ondra doing it is pretty strange. Apart from one little section it mostly looks like he could be bumbling up an HVS.
